The Final Confrontation and Award Ceremony for Lord of the Rings, Star Trek 2E and .hack//ENEMY TCG will take place on SUNDAY. Please make your travel plans accordingly. The final confrontation will be treated as a new tournament between two players. This means that different decks may be used and if one of the two players cannot attend the final confrontation, their spot will pass down to the next available player from the last day of the World Championship.

Please bring your tournament tickets with you to GenCon, or know your Player ID. If you do not know how to get your player ID, click here.
